EXOTIC MTCROLEPIDOPTEKA, 
upper | of termen, with a strong transverse lobe from costal portion 
near anterior extremity : cilia deep purple, on lower part of termeu 
coppery-orange. Hindwings deep coppery-orange, near costa 
yellow ; a large dark fuscous basal patch, its edge strongly convex 
and extending in disc to beyond middle, then recurved with an 
irregular excavation to termeu near tornus ; a dark purple-fuscous 
apical blotch, edge rather irregular ; cilia coppery-orange, round 
apical blotch deep purple, on dorsum dark grey.

Tortrix myroxesta, n. sp. 
c? . 15 mm. Head, palpi, thorax ferruginous-ochreous, palpi 2J, 
whitish-ochreous towards base. Antennae subdentate, ciliations 2 . 
Abdomen dark grey, anal tuft light ochreous. Forewings sub¬ 
oblong, costa near base gently arched without fold, then straight, 
termen rounded, rather oblique ; light ochreous; central fascia 
suffused, ferruginous, oblique, moderately and nearly evenly broad ; 
fasciae of whitish iridescence preceding and following this; costal 
patch semioval, suffused, ferruginous: cilia pale ochreous, basal 
half suffused ferruginous. Hindwings dark grey; cilia pale 
ochreous, a faint ferruginous-tinged subbasal line.

Tortrix spinnlosa, n. sp. 
< 5 . 24 mm. Head, thorax ochreous-yellowish, sides of face 
tinged fuscous. Palpi 3, whitish-ochreous irrorated fuscous. 
Antennal ciliations 1. If ore wings suboblong, costa anteriorly 
moderately, posteriorly hardly arched, without fold, termen hardly 
sinuate, somewhat oblique : light glossy ochreous-yellowish, scat¬ 
tered blackish-grey scales between veins, veins faintly marked fine 
greyish lines ; a small blackish-grey dot on base of vein 5 : cilia 
light ochreous-yellowish. Hindwings light grey ; cilia whitish, 
a faint grey subbasal line.

Near acerbella, of which variable species I thought at first it 
might be a form ; but (as compared with the corresponding sex) 
it is larger, the palpi are longer (in acerbella 2|), the fore wings 
somewhat broader anteriorly in consequence of the costa being 
more arched, and the spines on lower surface of posterior tarsi are 
very minute and hardly noticeable, whilst in acerbella they are 
much more developed ; these differences probably indicate a distinct 
species. The antennal ciliations show no apparent difference. 
Tortrix polytechna, n. sp. 
5 . 18 mm. Head light ochreous, sides of crown suffused ferru¬ 
ginous. Palpi 3|, ferruginous-ochreous. Thorax grey mixed 
ferruginous-ochreous. Abdomen dark grey. Forewings rather 
elongate, slightly dilated, costa slightly arched, termen straight, 
rather oblique; rather glossy leaden-grey; basal half of costa
